Effect of Filler Size and Its Bimodal Distribution for Highly Thermal-conductive Epoxy Composites

Thermal Degradation Behavior of Liquid Crystalline Thermoset Composites

Liquid crystalline thermosetting epoxy, 4,4'-diglycidyloxy-α-methylstilbene (DOMS) was synthesized and characterized with cross-polarized optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Carbon nanotube (CNT) or graphene reinforced DOMS composites were fabricated by melt blending with sulfanilamide (SAA) as a curing agent. To investigate the thermal degradation behavior, th...

Development of AlN/Epoxy Composites with Enhanced Thermal Conductivity

AlN/epoxy composites with high thermal conductivity were successfully prepared by infiltrating epoxy into AlN porous ceramics which were fabricated by gelcasting of foaming method. The microstructure, mechanical, and thermal properties of the resulting composites were investigated. The compressive strengths of the AlN/epoxy composites were enhanced compared with the pure epoxy. The AlN/epoxy co...

Effects of Chemical Structure Changes on Thermal, Mechanical, and Crystalline Properties of Rigid Rod Epoxy Resins

Effects of chemical structure changes on the thermal, mechanical, and crystalline properties of rigid rod epoxy resins have been studied for azomethine epoxy, biphenol epoxy, and tetramethyl biphenol epoxy. Rigid rod epoxies have exhibited better properties than those of the flexible bisphenol A epoxy. The chemical structures of both rigid rod epoxy and curing agent control the properties of cu...
